Dextrose is a sugar. It is the the chief source of energy in the body. The living cell uses it as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate. Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and starts cellular respiration both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Sugar can be found in all kinds of food. Candy, fruit, and many ready-made dinners are full of sugars. If too much sugar is consumed, your body's pancreas, where insulin is made, can start reacting hastily. Your glucose levels would be out of control, and could possibly lead to diabetes.
